[opensuse-factory] Controlling Login Manager
Isn't there somewhere in YaST2 to do this? In a fresh install last night, I don't see this anywhere in YaST2 Control Center. The reason I'm asking is what I see is a couple of gigantic boxes and giant text in the input box instead of any familiar visual style of KDM, no kind of menu inputs of any kind. It seems as though some generic DM is started instead of KDM. I was having trouble getting the installation to start initially, so I opted eventually for a minimal install type, and after that completed, used zypper to add packages until X started to work. -- "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."

Yes, you probably see XDM login screen which is readily explained by the fact that you've started with minimal installation ;-) If you want KDM back, please check that package 'kdebase3-kdm' is installed, and if it is the case, set DISPLAYMANAGER variable to 'kdm' in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager file. Unfortunately, we have no YaST tool to do this for you :( B. -- \\\\\ Katarina Machalkova \\\\\\\__o YaST developer __\\\\\\\'/_ & hedgehog painter --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

We have, it's the sysconfig editor. ;-) Bernhard --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Actually I did open it, but got turned away from it by looking and only seeing things that made it look like windoz' regedit and not spotting what I thought was anything that looked like display manager configuration. I just don't associate a login manager with a desktop manager. I posted here because I simply couldn't recall the existence of /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager, and really did think it must be in YaST2 somewhere. It's not something I normally ever need to change, but in this case somehow it got set to gdm even though kdebase3-kdm is installed and gdm is not installed. Fixed now. :-) -- "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." John 1:1 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.

Search for “kdm” does work ... Bernhard --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
